Do I need to attend preparatory classes to apply for undergraduate study in Japan?
Japan has a beautiful environment and is now one of the first choice countries for students to study abroad. But do you know that many people need to take a one-year preparatory course before applying for Japanese undergraduate courses? What is the preparatory class for studying in Japan? Do I need to take a preparatory course to apply for an undergraduate course in Japan? Let me answer this question for my classmates.

1. What is the Japanese preparatory class?

Preparatory study in Japan is also an analysis of other subjects. Another name of Japanese preparatory course is Japanese professional course. The so-called "college specialized courses" is actually the product of educational preparation similar to "college preparatory course" that people often say in China. In Japan, such preparatory education institutions are called "college colleges".

Other disciplines are affiliated to a university, and these universities are basically private universities. Therefore, "foreign students in private universities" is actually another name for "foreign students". They are all Japanese training institutions that recruit foreign students who don't understand Japanese or Japanese. So, think of it as a language school for the time being. But other subjects have their own characteristics compared with language schools.

For example, students in other subjects can enjoy all the benefits and treatment of international students when they get a study visa (but the difference between a study visa and a study visa is not obvious, and the Japanese government is already formulating policies to merge the two visas). Moreover, because other disciplines belong to a university, students from other disciplines can enjoy some treatment in their own university, including all the facilities and special rights in the university.

In addition, undergraduate science system 1 year, full-time teaching. Students who want to study in their own universities after graduation can enjoy the treatment of taking care of the scores of their own universities or enrolling directly without examination. Of course, students who graduated from other disciplines can also take an examination of other universities or colleges.

Second, the Japanese preparatory class application conditions

1. Education requirements: Undergraduate and short-term university applicants must have received 12 years of school education (including secondary education), have basic knowledge of Japanese, and be over 18 years old.

2. Comprehensive quality ability: including self-learning ability, ability to understand problems and certain research ability. Recognize your own ability and learning strength, and choose the university that suits you.

3. Examination for studying abroad: Undergraduate entrance examination generally includes two parts: the national unified examination and the examinations organized by various schools. These two kinds of exams generally have separate exams for foreign students, that is, the exam content and admission scores are different from those of Japanese students. Generally, the entrance examination for Japanese undergraduate students is conducted in Japan, so it is necessary to take the examination in Japan to apply for Japanese universities. One way is to apply for matriculation classes such as Japanese language schools and then apply for Japanese universities; Another way is to choose a domestic university and apply for a visa to take the exam in Japan during the exam.

4, language requirements: before going abroad, you need to master a certain level of Japanese, and the risk of going to Japan based on 0 is greater.
